Book Synopsis And This Is My Friend Sandy by : Deborah Philips
Download or read book And This Is My Friend Sandy written by Deborah Philips and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book situates the production of The Boy Friend and the Players' Theatre in the context of a post-war London and reads The Boy Friend, and Wilson's later work, as exercises in contemporary camp. It argues for Wilson as a significant and transitional figure both for musical theatre and for modes of homosexuality in the context of the pre-Wolfenden 1950s. Sandy Wilson's The Boy Friend is one of the most successful British musicals ever written. First produced at the Players' Theatre Club in London in 1953 it transferred to the West End and Broadway, making a star out of Julie Andrews and gave Twiggy a leading role in Ken Russell's 1971 film adaptation. Despite this success, little is known about Wilson, a gay writer working in Britain in the 1950s at a time when homosexuality was illegal. Drawing on original research assembled from the Wilson archives at the Harry Ransom Center, this is the first critical study of Wilson as a key figure of 1950s British theatre. Beginning with the often overlooked context of the Players' Theatre Club through to Wilson's relationship to industry figures such as Binkie Beaumont, Noël Coward and Ivor Novello, this study explores the work in the broader history of Soho gay culture. As well as a critical perspective on The Boy Friend, later works such as Divorce Me, Darling!, The Buccaneer and Valmouth are examined as well as uncompleted musical versions of Pygmalion and Goodbye to Berlin to give a comprehensive and original perspective on one of British theatre's most celebrated yet overlooked talents.

Book excerpt: Janet and 'Twice' Alexander break new ground in the island of St. Jago, British West Indies-a setting as far removed from the Highlands of Scotland as a calypso from a lament. But it takes more than a planter's punch compounded of island feuds, jealousies and intrigues to put out the exuberant Alexanders-as this further sparkling episode in the now-famous saga shows, through an unexpected drama provides a startling climax.

Book Synopsis Hello Darkness, My Old Friend by : Sanford D. Greenberg
Download or read book Hello Darkness, My Old Friend written by Sanford D. Greenberg and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a bitterly cold February in 1961, and Sandy Greenberg lies in a hospital bed in Detroit, newly blind. A junior at Columbia University from a Jewish family that struggled to stay above the poverty line, Sandy had just started to see the world open up to him. Now, instead of his plans for a bright future—Harvard Law and politics—Sandy faces a new reality, one defined by a cane or companion dog, menial work, and a cautious path through life. But that’s not how this story ends. In the depth of his new darkness, Sandy faces a choice—play it “safe” by staying in his native Buffalo or return to Columbia to pursue his dreams. With the loving devotion of his girlfriend (and now wife) Sue and the selflessness of best friends Art Garfunkel and Jerry Speyer, Sandy endures unimaginable adversity while forging a life of exceptional achievement. From his time in the White House working for President Lyndon B. Johnson to his graduate studies at Harvard and Oxford under luminaries such as Archibald Cox, Sir Arthur Goodhart, and Samuel Huntington, and through the guidance of his invaluable mentor David Rockefeller, Sandy fills his life and the lives of those around him with a radiant light of philanthropy, entrepreneurship, art, and innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within minutes of giving birth, Sue Latour was told by her pediatrician her baby girl could not possibly survive the night. The diagnosis was confirmed as certain by a room full of medical experts brought in to assist. Gripped with fear and with seemingly no other options, she turned to God for help. Thus, begins the miraculous story of Sue Lyons-Latour and her miracle princess, Sandy Michelle Latour. Sandy's Heart will enlighten and inspire like no other. You'll laugh and cry, but most of all you'll understand that in the twenty-first century miracles still happen. Sandy's survival was only the first of many miracles to follow. What little did the hospital professionals who insisted that they give her up or the family know of what was to come. They were unaware of God's anointing on their fragile yet miraculous child. The family and all that knew them were to embark on the ride of their lives, filled with testing, trials, and with God's great mercy, grace, forgiveness, love, and favor. It all began on October 3, 1984, with Sandy's first miracle. Sandy's life reached multitudes of souls for the kingdom of God. She walked with God and prophesized the truth into people's lives. Miracles followed her wherever she went. She had a great character and stated God has a character as well. She knew things about heaven and God that were impossible for a handicapped child with a limited mentality. Her description of Jesus was perfectly described as seen in the Bible's revelation of Christ. Sandy's Heart encounters the lives of her family and those around her. It depicts the devastating hard times as well as the blessings and favor of God as He carried them through them all. It allows the reader to find hope and trust in God's will and to find joy in even the hardest of the hard times.

Relating to his work becomes easier as he lives the life that he talks about in his book. The author loves life and lives it to the fullest. Humor is something that comes naturally to him, so inevitably his first novel has fantastic humor. Just at the age of twenty one, for Kunal the world is his oyster.
Download or read book Fabulosa! written by Paul Baker and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year “Richly evocative and entertaining.”—Guardian “An essential book for anyone who wants to Polari bona!”—Attitude “Exuberant, richly detailed. . . . A delightful read.”—Tatler Polari is a language that was used chiefly by gay men in the first half of the twentieth century. It offered its speakers a degree of public camouflage and a means of identification. Its colorful roots are varied—from Cant to Lingua Franca to dancers’ slang—and in the mid-1960s it was thrust into the limelight by the characters Julian and Sandy, voiced by Hugh Paddick and Kenneth Williams, on the BBC radio show Round the Horne (“Oh hello Mr Horne, how bona to vada your dolly old eek!”). Paul Baker recounts the story of Polari with skill, humor, and tenderness. He traces its historical origins and describes its linguistic nuts and bolts, explores the ways and the environments in which it was spoken, explains the reasons for its decline, and tells of its unlikely reemergence in the twenty-first century. With a cast of drag queens and sailors, Dilly boys and macho clones, Fabulosa! is an essential document of recent history—a fascinating and fantastically readable account of this funny, filthy, and ingenious language.
